We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and Visual Studio Test Professional based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to set up."
"Good text reading ability."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The solution is a stable one."
"Easy to use and easily scalable."
"The most valuable features are tools like IntelliSense and ReSharper."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and availability."
"One of the best documentation in the world."
"The ability to quickly make your own components has been valuable."
"It's great for the development of .NET."
"The most valuable feature has been to store all our packages in one place including SSIS packages, SQL tables, TFS and SSR."
"It is a good and user-friendly tool."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine."
"Enhancing the support for web application testing and load performance would be an improvement."
"The interface should be made attractive."
"The server that we use is very slow so that is concerning for us."
"The solution's documentation could be improved because it keeps disappearing from the solution."
"One of the problems with this solution is you need to be highly technically skilled to operate it, it is not for everyone."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved."
